Trade Arabia27-02-2025
Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, a new urban sanctuary following in the footsteps of Aman Tokyo and Aman New York, will open in the Thai capital on April 2.
Located in the oasis of Nai Lert Park amid the embassies of Lumpini, the property rests in green seclusion, a haven of calm amid the leafy embrace of the privately owned park.
The 52-suite hotel will be home to an exclusive Aman Club, with its own dedicated spaces, a 1,500-sq-mAman Spa & Wellness centre and multiple dining and socialising venues alongside exceptional branded residences.
With reservations now open for stays from April 2, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok brings the brand full circle from its 1988 launch of flagship property Amanpuri in Phuket and will provide a gateway to Aman's 24 hotels and resorts in Asia.
The 36th property in the Aman collection, and its third global urban property, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok epitomises every aspect of the brand's hospitality and revered DNA of peace, privacy and unparallelled service. Chief among the tapestry of influences informing the hotel, is the historic Nai Lert Park Heritage Home, owned by the Nai Lert family, who, in addition to being Aman's partner on the project, have an unrivalled legacy in Bangkok. Over the decades the trees and gardens have grown, creating the lush oasis that is the park today, with hotel harmoniously juxtaposing old and new, within nature's timeless embrace. Perfectly placed to ensure an immersive experience of all the city has to offer, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok will provide signature experiences unveiling Bangkok's best-kept cultural and culinary secrets.
Speaking about the property Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said: 'Thailand has played a significant role in the history of our brand and the latest evolution, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, will offer a unique connection to the rich heritage of the city. This is enhanced by our close collaboration with the Nai Lert family, in particular Naphaporn 'Lek' Bodiratnangkura who's involvement and support has ensured the property reflects the legacy of its incredible location. Further, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok represents another milestone in our long-term vision to introduce the exceptional Aman experience to urban destinations as well as providing a strategic link to our properties across Asia.'
Aman Nai Lert Bangkok will introduce Aman's trademark serenity to an area renowned for its energy. Long-time Aman collaborator, Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston architects has designed the hotel to integrate details of the century-old Nai Lert Park Heritage Home with contemporary elements. In addition, custom-made products by local artisans and antiques honour the elegance and simplicity of Aman's emblematic design ethos. Symbolic of the genesis of the hotel, a central feature is the majestic, 100-year-old Sompong tree dictating the building's root-framing courtyard and its striking elliptical void.
A contemporary urban sanctuary in a sprawling metropolis, the restaurant and gathering spaces will sit across the two distinct floors. From the ground level entrance with its carved roofline, lifts rise to the 9th floor, crowned with a light-filled central atrium and reception area. Located on the same level will be the convivial 1872 lounge bar and signature Italian restaurant, Arva. On the same floor, poolside bar, The Pool, spills onto the east-facing terrace and the hotel's infinity swimming pool overlooks the green canopy of Nai Lert Park.
On the 19th floor, exclusive to Aman Club Founders, is an open-air terrace with skyline views, as well as two restaurants, an atmospheric Aman Lounge, and Cigar Bar. In addition, Founders will also have access to the hotel's state-of-the-art wellness facilities.
The Aman Spa & Wellness, spanning two floors will house both a medical clinic, operated by renowned experts Hertitude Clinic, and an Aman Spa. The Medical Spa by Hertitude Clinic will include eight private clinic rooms, one examination room, an IV Lounge and cryotherapy chamber.
On a separate floor, the Aman Spa will offer an extensive range of hydrotherapy facilities and movement spaces. Treatments will take place across six spa therapy rooms, a dedicated Thai massage treatment room, and the unique private Banya Spa House.
Situated on floors 11 through 18, the hotel's 52 suites will be among the largest in the city, starting at 94 sq m . Floor-to-ceiling windows frame park and city views. Encompassing an entire floor, the Aman Suite is one of the largest presidential suites in Bangkok, offering up to 713 sq m and three bedrooms with a balcony and terrace, dining room with bar counter and separate kitchen, spacious living room, private spa, entertainment room, and dedicated study. – TradeArabia News Service

Thailand Sets Sights on 2028 Formula 1 Grand Prix with $1.2 Billion Bangkok Bid

Thailand's cabinet has given the green light to a bold $1.2 billion bid to host a Formula One Grand Prix in Bangkok starting in 2028, marking a major push to bring the world's most prestigious motorsport event to Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. If approved by Formula 1 management, the deal would see Thailand host an annual race in the capital through 2032, adding another marquee event to the sport's already packed global calendar. Street Racing in the Heart of Bangkok The proposal is for a street circuit in Bangkok — a high-stakes logistical and infrastructural undertaking that aims to emulate the glitz and allure of races like Monaco and Singapore. The government has made clear that this isn't just about racing, but about showcasing Thailand on the global stage. 'In the next two to three years, Thailand will have world-class competition, which we never thought would actually happen here,' said government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub in a news conference on Tuesday. Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong confirmed the bid is valued at approximately 40 billion baht ($1.23 billion). Long-Term Vision for Tourism For Thailand, hosting a Formula 1 race fits neatly into its strategy to revitalize tourism, which remains one of the country's most important economic sectors. A Bangkok Grand Prix would generate global media exposure, draw tens of thousands of international fans, and position the capital as a high-end destination for sports and entertainment. This announcement follows a March meeting between Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, after which Thailand commissioned a feasibility study into organizing a street race beginning in 2028. Competition on a Crowded Grid If successful, Thailand would join an increasingly crowded Formula One calendar that currently features 24 races, with four already in the Asia-Pacific region — including a night race in nearby Singapore. While Thailand has an FIA-accredited circuit in Buriram, which hosts MotoGP events, the government is aiming higher with a Bangkok-based event that puts the urban setting front and center. It's a move that mirrors the global trend in F1 toward street circuits that blend sport with cityscape spectacle. Next Steps The Thai government's approval is just the beginning. The final decision rests with Formula One's commercial rights holders and governing bodies. A Bangkok Grand Prix would require detailed logistical planning, infrastructure development, and close coordination with city authorities to ensure the urban race meets international standards. Still, the cabinet's unanimous backing signals Thailand's intent: to be more than just a tourist haven — to become a global stage for elite sport. If it crosses the finish line, Bangkok 2028 could mark a turning point in Southeast Asia's presence in the Formula 1 world.

Air India flight returns to Thai island after bomb threat

An Air India flight from Thailand's Phuket island to New Delhi made an emergency landing yesterday shortly after takeoff because of an on-board bomb threat, the Thai airports authority said. Airports of Thailand said on its Facebook page for Phuket that the pilot of the Airbus A320 radioed air traffic control that a bomb-threat message had been found on board. 'We received a report of a bomb threat written inside the aircraft's bathroom, so the pilot informed the control tower and decided to divert the flight to Phuket International Airport after circling to burn off fuel,' Monchai Tanode, director of Phuket International Airport told a press conference. 'Police have brought in several suspects, but have not yet been able to identify who wrote the message,' Monchai added. Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 showed the Phuket flight making a U-turn over the Andaman Sea soon after takeoff, then circling multiple times off the island's coast before landing. The flight finally took off at 4:28 pm (0928 GMT), the website showed, more than seven hours after its scheduled departure.

Thailand Shuts Border Crossings with Cambodia Following Deadly Military Clash

Thailand has temporarily closed two of its border crossings with Cambodia to tourists, following a deadly military clash that claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier, reigniting tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbours. The closures, which came into effect on Saturday, were implemented as a precautionary measure after the fatal incident that occurred on May 28 in the volatile "Emerald Triangle" region—where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos converge. This area has long been a hotspot for territorial disputes, and while both countries have maintained diplomatic ties, occasional outbreaks of violence have marred their relationship. The recent clash adds to a series of skirmishes that began in 2008, which have so far resulted in at least 28 fatalities. Thai authorities said the border closure is aimed at ensuring the safety of civilians and tourists as tensions remain high. Meanwhile, officials from both nations are reportedly in communication, seeking to de-escalate the situation and avoid further conflict. Security has been tightened along the border, and the temporary closure is expected to remain in place until stability is restored.
